Another Kind of Green
Hazel Greenwood is fine, but not finished.
When Hazel and Jack’s marriage reaches a breaking point, they do the only thing they think will help: they decide to take a year away from each other, reuniting on Hazel’s dreaded fortieth birthday. The only rule? They cannot contact each other. Everything else is fair game.
Grappling with the recent passing of her mother and soon leaving her thirties behind, Hazel’s struggling to hold it together. When she makes a wish on her 39th birthday, she gets more than she bargained for when she slowly realizes that not only can she no longer lie to herself, she can’t lie to anyone else, either.
Now that Hazel can’t hide what she’s feeling, she has no choice but to deal with all the issues she’s been pushing to the side, and when a fellow parent at her son’s school invites her to join her book club, Hazel begins a journey of self-discover that has her questioning her ‘fine’ existence.
But there are people from her past—and present—who would rather just leave things well alone, and Hazel must decide just how much she’s willing to change in order to turn to the next chapter and find her happy ending.
